Spinach muffin!!! I had a bunch of spinach sleeping in my fridge for a long time. It wasn’t more enough to make sambar or subzi and I was thinking what to make before it becomes spoiled.
When I told my husband that I am going to prepare a spinach muffin for an evening tea, he gave me puzzled look of what I am gonna make. But the moment I took it out of the oven, it was just finished in a minute 🙂 This is the first savory muffin I had ever tried and tasted too.. And I am happy with the result. It was very tasty that I am gonna prepare it again for a get-together.
